Question

Can anyone assist me in getting a function to be called, in this example the second() after the function before has finished? The first function called contains an ajax call.

function requestPost(postID, clientId) {

    first("path", { postID: postID, clientId: clientId});
    second(); // this is where I want to call the second() but only the first() has completed.

}

Thanks

You should probably specify the ajax function/library/whatever that’s being used. That’ll simplify answers. If that ajax function has a callback mechanism, you can just do:

var second = function second(){ // do stuff };
$.ajax({callback:second});

In other words, pass the function as a callback to the ajax function.
